Why read it?
1 author picked White Lies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Talk about teenage angst. This YA novel is like living inside the mind of an anxiety-driven, introverted teenager who constantly finds herself in precarious positions.
I loved the honesty of this book the most. I got so frustrated with the main character because she kept making decisions that I’ve seen people in real life make. I wanted to scream at her so many times throughout the novel, and several times, I put the book down and shook my head in frustration. That’s when you know the novel is a winner.
From Kern's list on family drama, sacrifice, and how beautifully messy a family can be.
